7. Is Your Charger Working
When you connect your charger the charge light should come on. Once the battery is 95% charged then the charge light should go out.
Charging can take up to 12 hours, I always recommend you leave your battery on charge over night, the charger will switch off the charge internally once your battery is fully charged
To all readers,
Thank you all for your comments over the years.
Due to work pressure, I am no longer able to answer individual comments, please read, “My Mobility scooter won’t go”.
If you are experiencing further problems then contact you nearest mobility shop and talk to the engineer.

Hi
The batteries appeared charged but the scooter will not go. Having checked the “engage” and “disengage” lever I found that regardless of the position of the lever I am unable to move the scooter and it appears to be in gear all of the time. Any advise would be appreciated

I forgot to mention that i checked all my fuses n all were fine and i checked to make sure that both battery wires were plugged in snug .. I also reset it too .. It is however charging on a 100 ft extension cord cuz my outdoor plug broke … Could that be a problem that would stop it from charging or do I need new batteries My scooter is the Victory 10 four wheel
Thank you kindly

I have a scooter I bought brand new for my mom it is very similar to Dalton SC-S245 just a year or two older. She rode on it maybe 4 times so it has been sitting. I charge it up every once in a while but she never rode it. Now I want to give to a friends mom for her to enjoy but it did not charge up so I bought new batteries, it still does not move. I did the check off you listed but did not do the reset because I couldn’t find it. My yard guy told me I need a new relay board or something like that> Please help. Sincerely, Linda

Hiya I’ve just been given a freerider three wheeler. I’ve put it on charge and there’s a red light and a flashing green light but when I turn the key there is nothing happening. No lights turn on nor does the battery gauge move. We’ve checked cables and nothing seems to be broken. Thank you.

Hi Kathleen,
This could be one of the following: overload tripped or a fuse blown, or worse case the batteries are dead
To get the above items checked, contact your nearest mobility shop

Is it safe to charge the unit (scooter) indoors?
LikeLike
It is safe to charge a scooter indoors, with the following provisos
• The area is well ventilated
• The charger is not covered, preventing good air flow through and over the charger
• The charger is not placed in contact with inflammable materials or liquids
• The charger is not placed in a damp area, or an area subject to water / rain splashing onto it.
• Keep out of the reach of children and pets

On #7 Is your charger working? does your reference to the green light refer to the Scooter display or the charging unit? There are two lights on the charger and both are green when plugged into scooter.

A friend has a Shoprider Explorer. Apparently she tried to go up a hill and it died on her. They brought the unit back and she has no lights at all on unit when the key is turned. I see advice which says push rest button but can not find a reset button could ignition be reset button? Suspicious that there is nothing lit up on the unit. The charger is on right now and plugged in and both lights on the charger are green. Person who wheeled unit back said the brakes were on. Has me puzzled. If you have any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Eric
Sorry for not responding quickly, this is the busiest time of year for mobility engineers.
Your friend may have tripped the reset / overload / cut out button, the location of which depends on the type and make of scooter.
In general if it is a “Boot Scoot” (one that comes apart an goes into the boot of a car). The battery box is removable from the scooter and the reset button is located on the battery box.
If the scooter is a mid to large size, then the reset button is situated under the battery cover (which is under the seat). Usually there is a hole cut into the battery cover so it can be reset without removing the battery cover.
If after charging the batteries over night and resetting the overload there is still no lights then your friend should seek advice from your local Mobility shop, as it could be a fuse blown or the batteries have been discharged too far, the latter will require new batteries.
